The World Meteorological Organization has announced that they have retired three names from their hurricane names list.

The names Beryl, Helene, Milton, and John have been officially retired from the rotating list of Atlantic tropical cyclone names.

The names Beryl, Helene, Milton and John have been retired by the World Meteorological Organization Hurricane Committee. Beryl, Helene, and Milton are retired as Atlantic hurricane names. Brianna, Holly, and Miguel will replace them on the rotating list.

Before passing almost directly over the Houston region on July 8, when it caused widespread power outages and contributed to dozens of deaths, Hurricane Beryl devastated multiple Caribbean islands and was the earliest Category 5 storm on record in the Atlantic basin.

Hurricanes Helene, Milton and Beryl were so nasty last year that their names are being retired. The World Meteorological Organization on Wednesday officially replaced the names of the trio of 2024 storms that killed more than 300 people and caused more than $119 billion in damage.

About 100 names of tropical storms and hurricanes have been retired from future use in the Atlantic Ocean, and now Beryl, Helene and Milton join them.
